The Ford Mustang AV8R is a one-off, aviation-themed Mustang that's been modified with a suite of upgrades from Ford Racing, including the Handling Pack, Whipple blower, cold air intake, and a new exhaust. Power from the 4.6L V8 subsequently jumps to 400 horses, and the car is further individualized with a custom exterior and interior. Outside, its Satin Silver finish is offset by a black hood and decklid, red accent lines, dark gray stripes side, an Air Force star on each front quarter panel, and an oversized, AF star etched on the glass roof. The faux gas cap on the trunklid also gets a white star motif, and the rear spoiler is black with a red stripe and the AV8R logo in the corner. The front and rear bumpers are swiped from the California Special, while the grille is the same one used on the Bullitt, only with red trim instead of a metallic finish on the lower lip. It's a very sharp-looking car.
Inside, the two-tone leather seats have AV8R embroidered logos, and their brown inserts are reminiscent of an old bomber jacket. Brown also hide adorns the shifter boot. In the video after the jump, we also learn that the interior trim appliqués Bullitt are pre-production units. The car will be auctioned off to benefit the Gathering of Eagles program, which is encourages young people to get involved in aviation.Back in 2006, the first Shelby GT-H brought $ 250000 at an auction benefiting the same organization. If you want a shot at the AV8R, you'll need to get yourself out to Oshkosh this weekend. If you're feeling confident, just book a one-way flight. Maybe you'll be able to drive home.

The undisputed champion of hydrogen fuel cell SUVs at the Nurburgring has been crowned: the Nissan X-Trail FCV. The winning time: 11:58. Of course, it's the winning time because it's the only time - a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle has never ran the 'Ring before.
After piloting the 120 bhp X-Trail around the world for two years, Nissan engineer Frank Eickholt, decided it was time to take it to the track. The € 1.3 million X-Trail was apparently hampered by moist tarmac, so you can expect a redo at some point in the future. Just when you thought the 'Ring craze was as hot as it could get, here come the hydro-powered vehicles to ... pour some water on it ...


El Toyota Celica 1996 es demasiado pequeño para el transporte de toda una beca desde Rivendel a la Puerta de Negro de Mordor, aunque cuatro de los compañeros son de tamaño pinta hobbits. Esa es probablemente la razón por Frodo y la banda finalmente decidió pezuña, y que han visto cómo gran parte de segunda mano Toyotas van en la Tierra Media? Se prefiere ser más barato que pagar un orco para un dedito-back ride.
Sí, soy nerd LOTR, pero aún tengo dificultades para apreciar la obra de arte que adorna este Celica. Un chico con el nombre de Jason creado "La Preciosa" de su perfecta sintonía Celica que ya tenía un color agradable cambio de la pintura de puestos de trabajo-con lo que parece un yellowy orangish base. Ahora cada vez que Jason se embarca en una búsqueda épica para recibir más Ho-Os de su local Quicky Mart, toda la pandilla paseos escopeta. Personajes de la trilogía de Peter Jackson que hacer una aparición en la sheetmetal Jason incluir Frodo, Aragorn, elvish chica ya su novia (no recuerdo su nombre, por lo que no estoy de un enorme dork), Gandolf el Blanco, Saruman el Blanco, El Rey Brujo de Angmar y Legolas ... Dos veces. ¿Quién no quiere Elijah Wood mirando atrás, en que se desbloquea la puerta de su coche?
Afortunadamente mi agradecimiento por el automóvil reemplaza a mi afición por la fantasía, así que no encontramos ninguna creaciones de JRR Tolkien en mi coche el barrio de los paneles.
